[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1111026, member: 56231"] Depending on which eMac model it is, you can operate either Panther (10.3) or Tiger (10.4). Tiger can be purchased from Apple (online), last I read it was US$65. You could try online auction sites like Amazon and eBay for an OS disk set, but you will need the full (black) retail version unless you can find someone selling the grey system restore disks specifically for your model of eMac. Meantime, pull down the optical drive door flap and see what the serial number is. From that you can ascertain via Apple's website which model it is. [/QUOTE]
